Depietro Resigns

East Hartford News Notes

July 08, 1997

Robert DePietro has resigned from the planning and zoning commission and board of assessment appeals, citing health reasons.

In a letter to Mayor Robert M. DeCrescenzo, received by the town clerk's office Monday, DePietro, 85, wrote that ``to continue with the prospect that I might miss meetings or not have the energy to do my homework is something less than what I expect of myself or any other official entrusted by our community to work on its behalf.''

DePietro, who was chairman of the assessment appeals board, wrote that he had served as either an elected or appointed official in town for more than 50 years. DePietro also has been a member of the town council and board of tax review, and has served as town treasurer.

DePietro was recovering from surgery Monday and was not available for comment.
